Thanks for your comment. This split rubber strip only fits the newer WingBar edge models (721x model numbers). The original Thule WingBars (958x and 959x) have a single ridged rubber strip and so their t-track design does not accommodate this type of strip.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn the barrel with a master key at all. The only way to do that is with the matching numbered key. However, you might be able to get a locksmith to help manipulate it into position for you. Make sure they do not just remove the barrel without manipulating the mechanism though, as you then won't be able to insert a new lock properly.

Thank you for your comment. Please kindly let me know the details of the Thule accessory that you are trying to fit to the T-track at the top of your roof bars and I will be able to advise you further. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards James

​@@roofracksi have dockglide kayak rack that fit in the T bar.

@@ptitbass Hi, Thanks for getting back to me The 896 DockGlide isn't supplied with locks, however, the feet are supplied with t-bolts that would slide into the t-track slot at the top of your bars. Kind regards James

Hello, Thank you for your comment. The chain should normally fully engage when the wheel is turned 180 degrees. However, we would recommend that you stop the car after approximately 10 yards and check to ensure that the slack part of the chain has fitted to the tread of the tyre. If it hasn't, you would just need to push it on by hand. Kind regards James

Hello, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without knowing exactly which model of WingBar Edge it is that you have , for example, 9593 or 9594, I'm afraid that there is no way of knowing if you would be able to fit four 532 carriers to them. However, I can tell you that as the 532 carrier is 21cm wide and bearing in mind that you would need to allow space for the bikes themselves, there would need to be at least 84cm of loading width at the top of the bars in order to be able to fit four on and it would be best to have them facing in alternate directions. I hope this helps. Kind regards James

Hi, I basically have the same question, but I’m “just” using 3 Thule Freeride 532s. For my car (BMW G21 Estate) Thule states I need the 86cm Edge or 118cm Evo. Just curious how much width there will be left with the Edge and whether that will be sufficient for 3 bikes?

Hello Josh, Without the master key, you wouldn't be able to remove the exisitng lock barrel from the product. The sole purpose of the master key is to remove a lock barrel that is already in the unlocked position.

Hello Linzi, Thank you for your enquiry. In order to be able to access the t-track slot at the top of the WingBar Edge bars, you would need to remove the cover on the the side of the feet attached at either end of the bars first. You would then be able to slide the t-bolts on the underside of the 598 carrier either into or out of the track. I hope this helps. Kind regards James

Thank you for such a quick reply! Much appreciated 👍🏻

Unfortunately, we only sell Thule branded roof bars and accessories, and don't know which parts would be compatible with your bars which have been manufactured exclusively for Volvo. I would recommend contacting Volvo directly to see if they can offer advice or assistance. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more positive answer on this occasion. Kind regards James

Thank you for your comment and we're glad to hear that you found the video helpful.

Hello Christopher, Thank you for your enquiry. Provided that you have inserted the half with the chevrons at the top of the bar so that the arrows are facing upwards, you should be able to press the strips in without a problem, although if you have inserted the strip and then removed it again, it is only designed to be inserted once. However, if they still aren't pressing in smoothly then it's possible that the rubber is defective and needs replacing, so you would need to contact the retailer that you purchased the bars from. Kind regards James

Hello Chris, Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Thule never produced a fourth bike adapter that is compatible with this carrier. I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you with a more positive answer on this occasion. Kind regards James

Hello Sam, Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately, the new style split T track rubbers are not compatible with the original WingBars. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more positive answer on this occasion. Kind regards James

Hello Dave, Thank you for your comment and we're glad to hear that you found the video helpful.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that the locksmith wasn't able to remove the broken key and I'm afraid that the only other option is to drill the lock out. However, this is quite tricky, and extreme care must be taken to not damage the housing, lock surround, or locking mechanism. Again, the locksmith might be able to help with this, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody not extremely confident at DIY.

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Provided that the claws on the underside of the roof box are securley tightend around the roof bars, it isn't a problem if the outside of the box sits on the on the foot.

It sounds like the locks on either side of your roof box match, which they should, so the key that won't open the locks is the wrong one. I hope this answers your question.

@@roofracks sorry I’m not really explaining myself. Let’s say my Thule key number is n199 and all the barrels are n199 and that’s all great and have no issues. I then stuck in Thule key N150 and it opens the roof box but not the other barrels for roof rack etc

@@donalgalvin5838 If you can open the roof box lock using a different key number to the one that's marked on the face of the lock barrel, then it's likely that the lock housing on the roof box has been worn down due to forcing the mechanism with the wrong key too many times. If this is the case, you would need to replace the lock housing on the box before inserting the barrel into it.

Unfortunately, as it isn't Thule branded, the locks may not be compatible with your particular foot pack. However, you may wish to contact Halfords directly for further advice.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Thule Master Keys can be used with all Thule lock numbers, but they will only work on unlocked barrels to remove them, you cannot remove a locked barrel with the Master Key. Kind regards roofracks.co.uk

Hello, Thanks for your comment! We have not tested your exact combination, however, 532 bike carriers take approximately 20cm of bar space each and the Motion XT Sport is 68cm wide. Therefore you should be able to fit them but might not be able to open the lid of the roof box with bikes on the carriers. Unfortunately, you won't know until you try, and it could depend on the bike and the exact positioning of the feet attached to the roof bars, roof box, etc. If you can manage to fit the next size of roof bars, 127cm, this would give you much more leeway. I hope this helps and I am sorry that I cannot be more definitive! Kind regards roofracks.co.uk

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I am not sure what you mean about the 4 part and 5 part bars. However, the X, Y, W and Z from the fitting instructions, are all crucial measurements to set the bars up correctly to ensure they fit the vehicle perfectly. Please note these only apply to cars with a normal roof using the 7205 Edge Clamp foot pack. X is the setting that must be used on the foot itself for the front bar position, and is adjusted by using the tool on the bolt inside the foot, to move the foot in or out until the letter is lined up. Y is the same for the rear bar position. W is the distance between the roof bars whilst Z is the position for the front bar in relation to the top of the windscreen where it meets the roof. These can all be found on the fitting kit instructions for your car, and if not set correctly, means the roof bars won't attach properly or be secure. I hope that this clarifies things for you but please feel free to contact us directly and we will only be too happy to discuss it further with you. Kind regards roofracks.co.uk

@@roofracks Thank you for explaining, it all became clearer during the actual mounting process. The bars that confused me the most it was actually a picture of a page from another instruction! (clamp adjustment)

Hello, Thank you for your comment and we are gald to hear that you found our video helpful. In order to fit four 598 Proride carriers to Evo WingBars, you would need a minimum loading width of 84cm. This means that you should be able to fit four of them onto 118cm long Evo WingBars provided that they are facing in alternate directions. I hope this clarifies things for you but please let us know if you have any further questions. Kind regards Roofracks

@@roofracks fantastic! Thank you 🙏🏻

Hello Jimmy,. You can order a Thule Master Key from our website, or from most other Thule stockists. www.roofracks.co.uk/master-key/p/2448 Kind regards roofracks.co.uk

Hello Chris, If you mean the lock barrel then unfortunately you cannot easily remove it without a matching numbered key. If there is a lock number on the face of the barrel then its simply a case of getting replacement keys to match. If there is no lock number, then you could possible get a locksmith to manipulate it into the lock removal position for you, so that you can follow the rest of the lock barrel swap procedure.
